Holly Warlick said Wednesday she has signed a contract extension that runs through the 2021-22 season to continue as Tennessee’s women’s basketball coach.

Warlick, a former Lady Vols All-American guard, just finished her sixth season as head coach and was entering the final year of her deal. The contract was last extended by former athletic director Dave Hart in the fall of 2015 and her compensation package was increased to $665,000.

Warlick did not offer any details to USA TODAY NETWORK - Tennessee. UT has not made any announcement.

Warlick was an assistant on former head coach Pat Summitt’s staff for 27 years, including seven as associate head coach.

Tennessee’s season reflected these dueling perspectives. The Lady Vols won 25 games, which has been Warlick’s average victory total as head coach. They improved by five victories over the previous season despite replacing two starters, including All-SEC honoree Diamond DeShields.

But UT also finished in a four-way tie for fourth in the SEC standings and was seeded seventh for the conference tournament for the second time in three years. A 15-0 start deteriorated into a 10-8 finish. The losses including an 84-70 setback at eventual national champion Notre Dame on Jan. 18, a game in which the Lady Vols blew a 23-point first half lead and were outscored 34-10 in the fourth quarter.

While the Lady Vols have reached the Elite Eight round of the NCAA tournament three times during Warlick’s tenure, they haven’t gone past the second round the past two seasons.
